Apisto chat/LFS watchlist & etc

[EdwinTay]

hi bros

Anyone can tell me an easy way to differentiate MacMasteri & Viejita? I have NEVER been able to tell the difference except, in my opinion, MacMasteri is larger & rounder.

[benjamin216]

Some new shipments at JZX for those who are interested.

Glaser
Melgar
Inka
Trifasciata

[cueball]

Anyone sighted any other apistos apart from JZX? Tank just finished cycling and now looking to get a pair.

[outspoken]

I just went aquazone at pasir ris farmway yesterday and got myself a pair of viejita. Think he have a few others as well.

hi bro cueball

I got a whole batch of trifasciata (1.5 weeks) & mamore fries (1.5 months). Both a little young. The mamores are actually quite nice, if the father's looks are anything to go by.....

Any of you interested in selling a pair or two to me?

I know the initial intention of the thread was for an interest check, but now it looks more like a LFS report for Apisto.
Can I rename the thread title?

[EdwinTay]

hi bro Simon

by all means - rename....a rose by another other name is still a rose....as long as it sustains the interest in apistos...

[EdwinTay]

hi bro Simon

That was fast...many thanks.

[outspoken]

Anyone knows where else we can find shops can carry apistogramma other than C328,Y618,JZX & Aquaone? I'm quite lost from the scene since stopping in 2007.

[EdwinTay]

hi bro outspoken

Stones @ Sin Ming - but you have to pre-order.

Some brothers also might want to trade or sell their excess

[outspoken]

Pre-order?...meaning he don't really have any on display?...wants to know what's available now in singapore...used to have a lot of varieties from shops but now seems like all of them close down. There's also this guy in pasir ris that used to stock up apisto in his house...His room is full of apisto that u can't get from shops and the price is damn cheap...i got freaking addicted.

[EdwinTay]

hi bro outspoken

I know the guy in Pasir Ris very well.

For your information, I have 27 tanks of apistos - but still not up to standard yet. Mine are breeding pairs (or, I wish they were..haha...) So far managed to breed Mamore & Trifasciata. But I have high hopes for my Wilhelmi, Hoignei, Viejita Yellow, Viejita Red & Elizabethae.

[cueball]

any pictures of your collection?

[EdwinTay]

hi bro Cueball

Yes, but, (1) they are blur, (2)my tanks are full of plants - so can't quite see, (3) I am not really good at loading onto PC.

In fact, I didn't know that I had mamore & trifasciata fries until they were quite old because I put black ada soil in tanks.

I suppose I will get around to loading the photos one of these days.....

Actually, if a group of you guys want to drop by to see, you are most welcome - but has to be around October because I am quite tied up with work now.

[outspoken]

Bro Edwin,
Custom tank with partitions? I used to have quite a few nano tank with 1 pair in each and even manage to breed in that condition. Don't think i will ever go back to that. Wife will make noise.
Btw does that guy still stock in apisto? I'm interested to know cos i dun have his handphone number anymore.

Anyway just went to C328 just now and was abit disappointed with their stock,condition and price. Not much variety,male and female inside a bag each and their price is quite on the high side
as compared to last time.

hi bro Simon

That was fast...many thanks.

You are welcome

Recently setting up a anyhow planted 2ft by 2ft by 35cm tank..
may I check how many difference apisto can comm in the tank?

[outspoken]

By right only 1 pair because once they start to breed,the female will be very aggressive even towards the male partner.

But if you do not intend to breed or do not mind losing the fry or seeing the fry being eaten then it will be 2 pairs with a lot of hidding place for them to take shelter from 1 dominant male.

Another suggestion is to partition the tank into halve then you can have 2 pairs in the same tank without worrying.
